Stumbled across this photo from ten years ago of a bit of early @Talk4Writing invention work, fuelled by different settings. This may have been my last full time year 6 class - madness! @PieCorbett @Talk4Writing @JamieThomasTFW @TalkforReading

From story invention to the power of learning models, then consistent progression in classrooms and rounding out with some short burst writing at today's @Talk4Writing taster - followed by @TalkforReading lesson observations in the afternoon. Busy old day doing important stuff.

Different room, same great vibes. Looking forward to the last @Talk4Writing Taster Morning of this academic year at @SandgateTfW. Today, we're inventing. @Talk4Writing @PieCorbett @JamieThomasTFW

Discovered by Mrs Evans, who has wisely asked whether I'll ever be returning it to her. I shall not. @Talk4Writing @PieCorbett @JamieThomasTFW

Wonderful to spend the day with the passionate team at Greenvale Primary, Croydon, who gained accreditation as a @Talk4Writing Centre. Welcome to the team!

One of my favourite displays in the school - every class has a space to celebrate and share a special piece of writing. Lovely to see how often it's the @Talk4Writing cold tasks making the cut!

It's beautiful.

Just finished planning a short 8-lesson character-focused @Talk4Writing unit for Year 6 using sections from Bram Stoker's Dracula - great example of a subtle villain reveal. What fun!

✏️Lovely video from @PennWoodSchool in Slough – one of our Training Centres. Penn Wood is a 3 form entry school. 89% of children have English as an additional language & 37% receive Pupil Premium. 91% of the children reached the expected level in writing in the SATs using TfW.

Fab day with the @Talk4Writing family. Always so much to reflect upon as we continue to grow. Also great to have the annual data drop: TfW training centres continue to significantly outperform national averages in all subjects, despite most serving very challenging communities.

Back home after a wonderful couple of days with the @Talk4Writing family. Just been picked up from the station. Tristan has made a starfish and Isabelle has planned out her first school-friend playdate. Gosh, I hope she'll meet the early learning goal...

The chairs are out - we're ready to go. Looking forward to a busy day with the @Talk4Writing community - what a treat! @PieCorbett @JamieThomasTFW

And away we go! @Talk4Writing Convention 2026 @PieCorbett @JamieThomasTFW

What a powerful presentation - secure oral composition first and then build the transcription @Talk4Writing @PieCorbett @JamieThomasTFW

Great workshop on @Talk4Writing with SEND schools upcoming - incredibly important stuff when we know that writing is one of the greatest academic challenges for children with additional needs. @JamieThomasTFW @PieCorbett
